Rayon knit prints.

Remember I asked about these a while ago? My package from Fashion Fabrics Club arrived!! Whoopee! These were all listed as 95% rayon/5% lycra, 58-60" wide and were on sale at $5.75 a yard. I intended these for some summer tops, and as my favorite pattern requires only 7/8 yard I figured I would play it safe and order an even yard of each of seven different prints. Oh, boy, this company advertises that they cut generously, and they certainly do. Only one piece is a yard long, most of them are 40" to 45" long. One particular one I think must have been a bolt end. It has a tiny hole right at the selvage 16" from one end, but the entire piece is 66" wide and 66" long. BTW, all these measurements are after a trip through the washer and dryer.

Interestingly, although they are all the same fiber content,they are very different. Some are very shiny, some matte and some in between. Some are stretchier than others, and one appears to be two-way stretch.

It will be interesting to see how they all turn out.
